We found Tony by searching on Yelp and ended up using him for two consecutive real estate…read moretransactions. Here is what happened: Last September we decided to move. We know a few realtors so we decided that we had to find someone we didn't know so we wouldn't hurt any of our real estate acquaintance's feelings. We searched Yelp and found The Alfano Group. Tony came to our house and he explained his process to us. He was well-prepared and professional. We immediately felt comfortable and confident in his presentation so after vetting a few other realtors we decided to use Tony for our home sale. Tony walked through our house and honestly told us what we had to do to properly stage it for sale. Everything Tony did or asked us to do in preparing to sell our home was well thought out and logical, so we put ourselves in his hands and followed all his instructions. Here's the best part: Tony put our house on the market on a Thursday as we were going out of town. By Sunday dozens of people had viewed our home and we had 10 solid offers, half of them for more than our asking price. On Monday we went to Tony's office to go over the offers. He had everything organized and answered all our questions helping us decide which offer to accept. The sale was extremely smooth and Tony handled everything! Our house sold for $11,000 over our asking price. It is now January and there are still homes for sale in our old neighborhood that were for sale before we started. I highly recommend Tony if you're selling or buying a home. He's very responsive and always returns calls, even nights and weekends. But our experience with him didn't end there. Tony also helped us find our new home while we were in the process of selling our old one. He did a good job of understanding our preferences and guiding us around different properties. We ended up finding a home that was well beyond our expectations. In fact, in many ways we didn't completely know what we wanted until we saw it. The new house was a little out of our price range but with Tony's help we ended getting it for a good amount below the asking price. We love this new home and were extremely happy. Even after our purchase, Tony stayed in touch making sure everything was going well. We had a couple of questions and small issues with the new property after closing. We called Tony and he dealt with the seller and handled them for us. Tony was extremely professional in his interactions not only with us but with other realtors we encountered in the course of both transactions, some of whom were not so professional. Another bonus was that Tony has previous experience in the mortgage industry, so his knowledge and advice proved very helpful as we dealt with the daunting loan approval process. Everything worked out well beyond our expectations. Tony under-promises and over delivers. We would recommend the Alfano Group to anyone. And we've also become big believers in the power of Yelp!

In the middle of the transaction, my daughter became gravely ill and was in and out of the local ER twice! Silke and her team showed great compassion and heart while keeping "the deal" alive.

Not only have they guided us through each step with great professionalism, communication and care for details, they also provided a top-notch presentation of our home, which resulted in immediate offers above asking price. In contrast to other brokers who were solely focused on Dollar per sq/ft numbers and "comps", Heather and Steve 'got' our home from the start and were able to sell it well above the estimates the other brokers gave us. We simply could not have made a better choice! If we could, we would give them a bonus star for also just being awesome people.

I called Mary Savage who's another salesperson working out of that office. She told me she knew Steve. When I asked her if she could contact him and tell him we had problems that he needed to address as our property manager, she snappily told me that she had nothing to do with Steve's property management business and hung up on me! No pleasantries, no goodbye! Steve's history is one of broken promises and neglect on any issues that have needed attention around the house. * Steve doesn't return phone calls. * Steve's action plans are fictions. He says he's doing something but he doesn't contact anybody. * When the timeframe for action has passed without anything happening, Steve is uncontactable and nobody else in his office will pass on messages.

She was always available to answer my hundreds of questions, from what to expect during the offer process and to help relief the stress when I was overwhelmed at all the tasks for our closing. Day, night & even when she was out of town, she was in constant contact with us to check and make sure we were okay. We always felt we were in great hands.

She was always on time as well, which we really appreciated.She was very straight to the point and gave us her educated opinion on selling price when we asked. When we interviewed her she did not over 'sell' herself, she gave us an honest opinion on what she thought we could get for our home and told us her marketing plan, which she was very true to. She was very true to her word and gave us realistic expectations for the outcome of our sell. Throughout the whole process she made sure to explain everything to us and guide us along on the process. The best part is she sold our house in... wait for it.... 7 DAYS! So awesome!

Where do I start? Laura Eklund is our go to Realtor since 2016 when we hired her to sell our home…read more We had a very unique yet difficult situation but she handled all that with such professionalism and ease. We hired her after interviewing many Realtors including one who I had worked with for many years and had bought homes through as well as my family and friends. Not one of them even came close to what Laura had to offer. After she closed that deal like a Boss, we vowed that she would be our Realtor for life. We have referred many friends/family to her and we also just bought our family home which we absolutely LOVE. I have been in the real estate market for the past 16 years and Laura has surpassed all of the professionals I have ever worked with in the past. Things that every Realtor can do is, write up and offer and get you in a contract. The REAL work starts when you actually do get into contract and you really need a Realtor who has your best interest at heart and the "Art of Negotiation" is the cutting edge difference between Laura and others I have worked with in the past and have heard about from many many friends and family. Laura's knowledge and skill to negotiate to get her clients the BEST DEAL possible is just worth taking a note of. She also has so many amazing contacts for people in related fields that she can save you a headache and not forgetting save you money :). We personally were able to save so much going with her recommendations after shopping around myself. She is simply amazing and still keeps in touch. She is an amazing Realtor but an even better person. Thank you for all you have done for us. WE LOVE YOU LAURA. The Singh Family
